Question on Moving Kids Up

The answer to your three questions is Yes.  The higher level teams always take priority, and if talented under class players can help, they will be moved up.  The talented players likely also need to be challenged.  

If the kids have real talent/skills they deserve to play up on JV esp if the get to play. Some of the true Freshmen need to step up and get better. 

If these players can help the higher level teams they should be moved up. This will also allow the more players on the freshman team to get opporunities. They cannot develop if they do not play.

 I'll agree with BFS that the short answer to all three questions is "yes" (except maybe #1, not completely regardless of the affect).  But there are LOTS of factors that go into choosing who goes to what level.  It doesn't matter if those three players would be the "core" of the Frosh team.  From a program standpoint, JV and Frosh ball are developmental for V.  If three guys are the strongest at a lower level, naturally they would be top candidates to move up.  The LAST thing a V HC would do is keep them there so the Frosh team will be strong.  That said, it is quite common for pitching to be spread out so that potential future V arms are getting innings at one level or another and no P's will be overworked at any level.

You asked a very similar question about a month ago "How many P's on a HS roster".  I believe you have a 2017 who pitches in a program with many P's.  Several posters suggested you focus more on helping him be the best he can be and let him earn his spot, wherever that may be.  Good advice.  Lots of things that neither you or he can control will happen and change over the next 3-4 years.  No sense in letting those things occupy head space.  It's OK to take an occasional glance for competitive reference but... focus, focus, focus.

Thanks for the reply Cabbage.  I'm just questioning what goes into all of this.  The moves I described will not affect my son as he was already slotted to have a major role in the rotation.  If anything, theses moves will give him more innings.  Just curious is all.

I hear ya.  Here is another recent thread that also has related info...

Key point, IF THEY WILL PLAY. If they're going up to JV and sit more than they play, even if it helps the JV competitively, they should stay down.

I think at this level, winning and losing take a back seat to player development. Better to see the Freshman team play .500 ball and get more playing time for younger guys than go undefeated with those three more developed players.

FNL. you make a lot of sense on your Freshman team comment regarding playing time for the younger guys. 

No telling how much playing time these kids moving up will get on JV as we're just ramping up with practices, but as others have mentioned if these boys earned JV they should be there.
